Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. This means that when you multiply the slopes of the perpendicular lines, its product = -1.

Given the linear equation, y = -9x - 1, and the point, (-3, 7):

Since the slope of the given linear equation is: m1 = -9, then it means that the slope of the other line (m2) = 1/9:

m1 × m2 = -1

-9 × 1/9 = -1

Next, we need to find the y-intercept of the other line. The y-intercept is the point on the line where it crosses the y-axis, and has coordinates (0, <em>b</em>). It is also the value of the y-coordinate when its corresponding x-coordinate = 0.

Using the given point, (-3, 7), and the slope of the other line, m2 = 1/9:

We need to substitute these values into the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to solve for the y-intercept, (b):

y = mx + b

7 = 1/9(-3) + b

7 = -1/3 + b

Add 1/3 to both sides of the equation to solve for b:

7 + 1/3 = 1/3 -1/3 + b

22/3 = b

Therefore, the y-intercept (b) = 22/3.

The linear equation of the other line is: y = 1/9x + 22/3

The Smith family went out to eat at Applebees. The total for their meal was $58.25. If they want to leave a 20%, how much tip sh

Len [333]

Answer:

$11.65

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 58.25, "of" in math means multiplication. So you multiply it.

To get 20% as a fraction you move the decimal 2 places to the left, and it's .2 or .20 so you get this equation:

.20 * 58.25

So your answer is, $11.65.

To find the total of the bill including the tip it would just be

11.65 + 58.25 = 69.90

Why is the answer B? Plz explain.

polet [3.4K]

The original can be rewritten as $\sqrt{-1*6}* \sqrt{-1*24}$ . Because i^2 is equal to -1, we can replace the -1 in each radicand with i^2, like this: $\sqrt{i^2*6}* \sqrt{i^2*24}$ . Now, i-squared is a perfect square that can be pulled out of each radicand as a single i. $i \sqrt{6}*i \sqrt{24}$ . 24 has a perfect square hidden in it. 4 * 6 = 24 and 4 is a perfect square. So let's break this up, step by step. $i \sqrt{6}*i \sqrt{4*6}$ and then $i \sqrt{6}*2i \sqrt{6}$ . We will now multiply the i and the 2i, and multiply the square root of 6 times the square root of 6: $2i^2 \sqrt{36}$ . 36 itself is a perfect square because 6 * 6 = 36. So we will do that simplification now. $2i^2(6)$ . Multiplying the 2 and the 6 gives us $12i^2$ . But here we are back to the fact that i-squared is equal to -1, so 2(-1)(6) = -12. See how that works?

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than 3 times the width. If the area of the rectangle is 68 square inches, what is the

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Width=4, and Length=17

Step-by-step explanation:

first you will make a variable for the width which i will say is x

now make it an equation (3x+5) (x) = 68

then solve 3x^2+5x=68

then 3x^2+5x-68=0

then x=4

then you have to substitute so 3(4)+5= 17 and 4
